History
Public holidays had their origins from established federal holidays that were enacted by Riksdag. They were typically observed on days that have significance for various sectors of American society and are observed at all levels of society, including government and the private sector. These holidays are typically derived from the history, religions, and cultures of Blechingia and have changed over time. Major holidays are most commonly observed with paid time off, however, many other holiday celebrations come without time off.
